The country s location makes it particularly vulnerability to climatic hazards such as drought, floods, and recurring tropical cyclones during the rainy season, which spans from October to April. Agriculture is the major activity of most of the population, contributing about 24 percent of the country s gross domestic product. The major crops are sugarcane, copra, sesame seeds, sugar beans, sunflower, rice, millet, and maize. Mozambique s population has doubled from independence in 1975 to the present day. The mortality rate among children under five has declined in the last 40 years thanks to improvements in the quality of health services and wider access to those services, mainly in rural areas. Life expectancy at birth increased from the 1960s through the late 1990s, but in the recent years it has decreased.Item Southern African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Zimbabwe(Brief, 2012) Mugabe, Francis T.; Hachigonta, Sepo; Sibanda, Lindiwe M.; Thomas, Timothy S.This summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Zimbabwe that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item Southern African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Swaziland(Brief, 2012) Manyatsi, Absalom M.; Masarirambi, Michael T.; Hachigonta, Sepo; Sibanda, Lindiwe M.; Thomas, Timothy S.This summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Swaziland that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item Southern African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Lesotho(Brief, 2012) Gwimbi, Patrick; Hachigonta, Sepo; Sibanda, Lindiwe M.; Thomas, Timothy S.This summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Lesotho that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item Southern African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Botswana(Brief, 2012) Zhou, Peter P.; Simbini, Tichakunda; Ramokgotlwane, Gorata; Hachigonta, Sepo; Sibanda, Lindiwe M.; Thomas, Timothy S.This summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Botswana that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item Southern African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Malawi(Brief, 2012) Saka, John D.K.; Siable, Pickford; Hachigonta, Sepo; Sibanda, Lindiwe M.; Thomas, Timothy S.This summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Malawi that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item East African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Uganda(Brief, 2012) Bashaasha, Bernard; Thomas, Timothy S.; Waithaka, Michael; Kyotalimye, MiriamThis summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Uganda that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, East African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.Item East African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Tanzania(Brief, 2012) Kilembe, Caroline; Thomas, Timothy S.; Waithaka, Michael; Kyotalimye, Miriam; Tumbo, SizaItem East African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis - Madagascar(Brief, 2012) Vololona, Mireille Rahaingo; Kyotalimye, Miriam; Thomas, Timothy S.; Waithaka, MichaelThis summary note is an excerpt from the chapter on Madagascar that will appear in the peer-reviewed IFPRI monograph, East African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis.
